Daffodils and Bokeh

[Barbara Kile]

3 Textures used here: 2 by Pareeerica (Bubbly and Antique Paper) and one by Nyker99 (Texture 26) both on Flickr.
After adjusting opacities and using layer masks, I felt it needed something so then finished up with Photo Stylizer by Nik ColorEfex Pro and Viveza2.
105 mm f/2.8 macro; f/11

Sorry, Barbara...I thought you posted this in Macro and I moved it down to OOTB - but, of course, I was just tired and confused so I deleted the copied post. Sheesh...I'm losing it with Daylight Savings Time!

I love this image. Love the colors and textures and the bokeh. It all works. I especially like how you kept the center area light and airy and then gradually drug the tonal range down a bit at the edges. Good separation between the two flowers and yet they still look very "together." I think this is one of my favorite images of yours so far.

Lovely comp and colours love the textured BG. Very nice Barbara.

Beautiful composition, colors, and texture work, Barbara. Very lovely image! Might just tone down the yellows a tad, they look a little over-saturated to me.

Barbara, Very lovely. I might just tone down the yellows a bit as noted above. Love the overlays w/ the bokeh/circles. Beautiful work.:)

[Barbara Kile]

Thanks everyone. The yellows were de-saturated after the application of the photo stylizer. I can do it again a tad.
